Bye Bye Grant!

I don't think this came as a surprise to anybody.

Avram Grant was yesterday sacked as Chelsea manager less than a week after he led Chelsea to their first ever Champions league league apearance.

Avram Grant was never a popular choice at the bridge and his tactics came under scrutiny more than once especially after the Carling cup loss to Spurs after taking a lead through David Drogba's splendid free kick (although Paul Robinson should have done better).

Avram did well in my reckoning although managers are judged according to the trophies they won, and he failed to win any. He was a penalty kick away from winning the UCL but their "strong man" John Terry bottled it.

So who's taking over?

- Guus Hiddinks
- Frank Riijkaard
- Sven Goran Ericsson
- Ten Cate
- Jose Mourinho
- Roberto Mancini

The list is endless.

I have a feeling Peter Kenyon already has a candidate in mind but he wants the UCL furore to cool off before getting back in the news.

Fingers Crossed.

PS: Can Chelsea win the league next season? You can get more than triple your money on them if you back them here.
